Human situation is a constant one. New conditions and problems are constantly setting the individual right from his infancy to his deathbed, and he is invariably engaged in trying to find a satisfactory and pleasurable solution to them by employing his intelligence and other gifts of the mind and body. In other words, life is the name of unceasing process, the process of adjustment.

“Adjustment is the process by which a living organism maintains a balance between its needs and the circumstances that influence the satisfaction of these needs” accordingly, the process of adjustment has two primary or main elements: one, the needs of the living organism; and two the conditions of circumstances influencing these needs. These needs can be biogenic, Originating in the society, personal or community, or arising from any other conceivable source. On the other hand, circumstances influencing these needs also can be either inside individual or outside him. Factors within the individuals that influence these needs are his physical and mental states, capacity, attitudes interests, etc.

Three Elements in Adjustment: An analysis of the process of adjustment of the processes of adjustment will reveal the presence of three main elements: Ÿ

Motive: The very process of adjustment in the living being is set in motion by the presence within him of some motive or need or requirement.

Ÿ

Thwarting Condition: When the environment does not present any features that tend to become obstacles in the fulfillment of these needs, then the adjustment in natural, facile and effortless, and does not problem in result. However, if circumstances create obstacle in the path of such fulfillment, then the process of adjustment progresses further.

Ÿ

Varied Responses: Once the fulfillment of a need has obstructed, individual indulges in various actions, which are a reaction to the obstacle.

Such a reaction can be normal just as much as it can be abnormal.

Ÿ

Solution: Because of these reactions and responses, the individual achieves a degree of adjustment with the circumstances. The problem of adjustment in there by solved.

Ÿ

Motive and adjustment: Generally speaking, the process of adjustment can be set in motion by any motive. For example, our physical needs are constantly being manifesting in the form of adjective behavior patterns. However, from our point of view, these needs do not have much importance, for life, itself ceases in the organism, thus obviating all further adjustment activity.

Need of study: Present time all people are salves of their problem in presently situations and his determinative life goals. Present time all people have set their life goals to earn a lot of money. In Past time all human being decided his life goal “mocha”. The persons do efforts to gain a lot of money in any situation or from any work .All situation have balanced human behaviors; this work's main factor is adjustment level. Based on previous research finding conclusion the well adjustable persons have conducted their work very smoothly, and all decisions taken were correct. From This concepts question arises. What does high adjustment level students achieved on high academic achievement? Adjustment works

Statement of the problem: “A comparative study of academic achievement of high and low adjustment level students” Key words: Academic achievement: Means the students have successfully completed his course, and acquire grade or percentage.

Adjustment: Adjustment is the process by which a living organism maintains a balance between its needs and the circumstances that influence the satisfaction of these needs.

Objectives: 1. Study of academic achievement of higher adjustment level students.

2.

Study of academic achievement of lower adjustment level students.

3.

Compare of academic achievement of higher and lower adjustment level students.

Hypothesis: 1. There is no significance difference between academic achievement of higher and lower adjustment level students.

De - limitation: 1. This study has completed in Meerut districts.

2.

This study has completed on secondary and senior secondary schools students.

Research method: This study has complied stapes with the analytical survey method.

Research design: This study has used the stapes on static group comparison design.

Population and sampling: This study has selected a finite population secondary and senior secondary final year's students and students are achieving board examination marks.

This study has used random and purpose sampling method. It selects five U.P board, five CBSE board and five ICSE board secondary and senior secondary schools each board have selected by random sampling method. Each school has selected two high and two low adjustment level students selected by purposive sampling method. In such a way, this study has completed on total 120 students.

Data analysis and interpretation: Gate data used by standardized questioners have calculated objective and hypothesis basis. The students divided in two parts high and low adjustable students' basis of questioner scores. Moreover, such students collect board examination marks.

Above table analysis objective no 1 studies academic achievement of higher adjustable UP, CBSE, and ICSE secondary and senior secondary students.

Showed the total marks percentage mean, median, mode, stander deviation and NPC curve status. UP board, secondary students have calculated mean, median and mode i.e.62.1, 62, 61.8 and senior secondary students mean, median, mode, are 61,60.5,59.5 according to NPC laws; NPC curve status is negative which is so clear that large population are situated in negative area. Like this CBSE board secondary students' mean, median, mode, are91.1, 90, 87.8, NPC curve status is negative and senior secondary students mean, median, mode respectively 89.5, 89.5, 89.5 NPC curve status is normal. Its ICSE board secondary students mean,

median, mode, respectively 78.7, 79.5, 81.1, NPC curve status is positive , and senior secondary students mean, median, mode is 86.5, 86.5, 86.5 respectively, NPC curve status is normal. Above data, have calculated stander deviation, SD limit 2.6 to 4.11, which is so clear that all students' marks difference only 2 to 4 marks?

The above analysis leads to the conclusion that High-level adjustable students have achieved the academic marks of UP board secondary and senior secondary 62.1 &61%, CBSE board 91.1&89.5% and ICSE board 78.7 &86.5%. Moreover, this marks variation is only 2and 4%.
